<p>You’re right that Ron Paul has voiced his support for the DOMA, but not because he’s against gay marriage. He supports the DOMA a states’ rights matter. It’s true that DOMA would probably create an inconvenient patchwork of marriage laws that are not mutually recognized between all states, but it would also prevent the fundamentalist Christian lobby in Washington from forcing through legislation to ban gay marriage nationwide, too.</p>
<p>I know that’s still not satisfactory to everyone, but people should know that Ron Paul isn’t anti-gay, he’s anti-morality-legislation, whether it favors or attacks gays or anyone else. To be fair, he’s probably the purest libertarian ever to live in Washington. You’d be hard pressed to find any issue on which he’s not pro-choice: marriage, drugs, abortion, anything related to privacy. Love him or hate him, he is nothing if not consistent.</p>
<p>This is starting to sound like the Politics forum, so I’ll sign off with the Ron Paul talk now. It’s just that I love that little guy! :rolleyes:</p>
